Brooklyn Law School cuts tuition, prioritizes access over profit
Brooklyn Law School’s (BLS) Board of Trustees announced on Thursday a 15 percent across-the-board tuition reduction, beginning in the 2015-2016 academic year.
A dramatic choice for the 113-year-old legal institution, it is one that follows closely in line with the initiatives put forth by BLS’s Dean Nick Allard. “Brooklyn is on the move. We are out front,” Allard told the Brooklyn Daily Eagle in an exclusive interview.
The staggering cost of law school is a subject “every law school in the country, every bar association, and every family and person who is considering attendance in law school are talking about,” said Allard. “While we are out in front, possibly because may be a bit less patient in Brooklyn, this is a national problem we are attacking.”
